THE SHOT HEARD 'ROUND THE WORLD

I WAS A YOUNG TEEN AND ATTENDED CHURCH.  THE PASTOR HAD JUST  STARTED TO READ HIS TEXT FROM THE BOOK OF ACTS.  THE PEWS WERE LONG WOODEN BENCHES ..QUITE NICE, IN FACT.  THERE WAS NO JUNIOR CHURCH FOR KIDS, SO THEY ALSO ATTENDED THE PREACHING SERVICE.  ONE KID BROKE WIND...PASSED GAS,,,,AND IT JUST THUNDERED.  THOSE BENCHES MADE WONDERFUL SOUNDING BOARDS !  TOTAL SILENCE, YOU  COULD HEAR A PIN DROP. WHEN THE REALITY OF THIS FINALLY SUNK IN, EVERY BODY INCLUDING THE PASTOR JUST ROARED WITH LAUGHTER.  IT TOOK TEN MINUTES FOR EVERY ONE TO RECOVER.  THE PASTOR HAD JUST READ FROM ACTS..."AND THERE CAME FROM HEAVEN THE SOUND OF A MIGHTY RUSHING WIND"
